Lyrics

Verse 1

The Epitaph's been printing since eighteen-eighty
Still telling the truth, and it's still a little shady
Bullet holes in the Bird Cage walls ain't patched up yet
Locals at the bar with a story you won't forget
Dragoons in the distance where the cold wind blows
This old town's still kicking, and everybody knows

Chorus

Ain't nobody tamed this town
Ain't nobody shut it down
Sheriffs came and outlaws went
Silver boom and money spent
Still got fire in the ground
Ain't nobody tamed this town
Ain't nobody tamed this town

Verse 2

Schieffelin Hall still standing, adobe thick and proud
Saturday on Allen Street, you can barely move the crowd
Rattlesnake by the roadside, coyote in the wash
We don't need the city lights, we don't need no boss
Cowboy hats and Harleys parked along the curb
Tombstone don't say much, but you'll hear every word

Chorus

Ain't nobody tamed this town
Ain't nobody shut it down
Sheriffs came and outlaws went
Silver boom and money spent
Still got fire in the ground
Ain't nobody tamed this town
Ain't nobody tamed this town

Instrumental Guitar Solo

Bridge

Earps rode out and the Cowboys fell
Every brick on this street has a tale to tell
Hundred-forty years and we're still right here
Hold your ground and raise your beer

Final Chorus

Ain't nobody tamed this town
Ain't nobody shut it down
Sheriffs came and outlaws went
Silver boom and money spent
Still got fire in the ground
Ain't nobody tamed this town
No, ain't nobody tamed this town
